Esteemed depleted uranium expert Dr.
Doug Rokke is pointing the finger at Israel for using deadly and illegal
depleted uranium munitions against the Lebanese people which were sold
to them by the U.S. government - and calls for an immediate halt to
the practice.

Dr. Doug Rokke's military career spanned
four decades before he was appointed as the head of the US Army's investigative
team into the assessment and teaching of the dangers of depleted uranium.

Dr. Rokke has been called upon as
an advisor for the Centers of Disease Control, Department of Defense,
National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine, U.S. Senate, U.S.
House of Representatives, U.S. Department of Transportation, FAA, U.S.
Department of Defense. U.S. General Accounting Office, Department of
Veterans Affairs, British Royal Society, British House of Lords and
House of Commons, United Nations, and Presidential Special Oversight
Board.

Depleted uranium is a radioactive
toxic poison - according to Wikipedia, "Depleted uranium is a byproduct
of the enriching of natural uranium for use in nuclear reactors. When
most of the fissile radioactive isotopes of uranium are removed from
natural uranium, the residue is called depleted uranium."

Depleted uranium is indiscriminate
in who it targets. During an appearance on the Alex Jones Show, Dr.
Rokke described some of the effects of depleted uranium - a battlefield
weapon that once used can never be cleaned up and remains in the atmosphere
for eternity.

"What we know from first hand
experience and what happened to those of us in Gulf War I and when we
did our research for the US Army - the first thing that hits you is
respiratory problems, then you have the rashes, then you start having
permanent lung damage within a few months because of radiation and chemical
toxicity, then you have neurological problems, then you have gastrointestinal
problems."

"You have decalcification of
the bones and the teeth - then you have all the eye problems due to
the alpha and beta damage to the eyes - and then the cancers, the leukemia
and everything else," said Rokke.

"It's catastrophic, the US Army
briefing the Pentagon leaders prior to Gulf War II in 2002 flat out
acknowledged all of the problems yet they disregard them and say that
they don't exist in public."

Following the bombing of Afghanistan
a scientific study by British scientists Dr. Chris
Busby and Saoirse Morgan concluded that high levels of depleted uranium
had contaminated Europe, having drifted on air currents from the Middle
East and Central Asia.

Rokke said the Israelis first used
depleted uranium munitions against the Egyptians during the Arab-Israeli
war in 1973-74.

He outlined the path to the Israeli
use of depleted uranium munitions, the 'civilized world's' dirty bombs,
in Lebanon over the last two weeks.

"The US Army confirmed they had
used over 500 tons of uranium munitions just in the first two months
in Iraq - that's the shock and awe - the US Army thoroughly confirmed
in that the GBU 28 - which is a precision guided bomb if you will -
5,000 pounds of explosives contains a uranium warhead - again these
are the bunker busters," said Rokke.

"Well low and behold last week
guess what the United States delivered to Israel - over 100 GBU 28's
to use against targets in Lebanon."

"The Army thoroughly confirmed
that its a radioactive bomb and the shrapnel is there after its use
and it's a problem and everything else so it's all there."

"So now we have photographic
confirmation - and I want to repeat - photographic confirmation of Israeli
tankers loading uranium rounds into Israeli tanks and using them in
Lebanon," Rokke told Jones.

"What we have now is deliberate
use of radioactive munitions, depleted uranium munitions, which are
illegal according to the United Nations."

"We've got all the Lebanese being
effected, all the women and children being affected, all the Israelis
being effected, and the areas over there are so small you're going to
have the whole region effected and contaminated."

"We knew about the GBU 28 delivery,
we knew that was a given thing - now we were looking at the damage that's
being done to Lebanon and all the damage indicates DU but until we actually
got the full photograph of the DU round being loaded by an Israeli tank
gunner we didn't have that and that came in yesterday," said Rokke.

The photographs of Israeli soldiers
loading DU munitions were strangely deleted from numerous different
news websites shortly after they were published but we were able to
retrieve these smaller versions from the Getty archive which are captioned

Rokke expands on Israeli use of depleted
uranium mission in an
article in which he states that, "the use of uranium
weapons is absolutely unacceptable, and a crime against humanity. Consequently
the citizens of the world and all governments must force cessation of
uranium weapons use. I must demand that Israel now provide medical care
to all DU casualties in Lebanon and clean up all DU contamination."

On Tuesday we carried
a video of Lebanese doctors describing injuries to children
as showing all the hallmarks of phosphorous - a chemical weapon also
highly contentious in battlefield use.

In a related development, former NSA
official Wayne Madsen was told
by his sources that the Israelis deliberately targeted
and killed four UN observers because they had obtained knowledge of
Israeli atrocities being perpetrated against the Lebanese population.
